In @JACCJournals, we find that heart failure outcomes didn't change after hospitals were acquired by private equity, despite admitting ⬇️ risk patients & ⬆ cardiac procedures. Transfer-outs doubled for Black adults Presented at #ARM25 @danielyjohnson bit.ly/43Z3NDS

In @JACCJournals, we find that after private equity firms acquired hospitals, clinical risk ⬇️ & catheterizations ⬆️ among patients w/ heart failure, but outcomes didn't improve Big thanks to @rkwadhera & team @LiuMichaelMD @vicky_bartlett @AndrewOseran jacc.org/doi/full/10.10…

In this national study, #heartfailure outcomes didn’t improve after private equity hospital acquisitions, despite lower-risk patients & more cardiac procedures. Transfer-outs nearly doubled for Black adults with HF jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #ARM25 #JACC @danielyjohnson @rkwadhera
